DIGITAL PLANETARIUM PROGRAM: DON QUIXOTE OF LA MANCHA.

Don Quixote of La Mancha for Digital Planetariums is an educational and immersive film in fulldome format, specially created for screening in digital planetariums and mobile planetariums. This children's version of the work by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, considered the most influential novel in Spanish literature, presents a selection of emblematic scenes adapted for young audiences.

The production creatively introduces real astronomical elements, such as the Cervantes System—a star and its exoplanets named Don Quixote, Sancho, Rocinante, and Dulcinea—thus combining classical literature with astronomical outreach, inspired by the initiative of the Pamplona Planetarium, the Spanish Astronomical Society, and the Instituto Cervantes.

Scenes from the novel included in the fulldome film:

• Chapter I: Alonso Quijano, after reading too many chivalry books, loses his sanity and believes he is a knight-errant.
• Chapter II: He arms himself with a makeshift shield and names his old horse Rocinante.
• Chapter III: At an inn (which he mistakes for a castle), the innkeeper knights him.
• Chapter IV: Merchants mock Dulcinea, and a farmer rescues Don Quixote and brings him home.

• Chapter XXVII: The priest and the barber trick Sancho to bring Don Quixote back.
• Chapter III (Part 2): A bachelor tells Don Quixote that his adventures are now published in books.
